Overview

• Announcing the designation, the White House said political violence stems from the left and labeled Antifa anarchist.
• The decree follows the Sept. 10 killing of ultraconservative activist Charlie Kirk and a public memorial held the day before the order.
• Prosecutors have charged Tyler Robinson in Kirk’s killing, and reporting says he used ammunition engraved with antifascist slogans.
• Scholars and former FBI director Chris Wray have described Antifa as a diffuse ideology or loose movement rather than a structured group.
• The United States maintains no list of 'national terrorist organizations,' and Trump had previewed this step in public remarks last week.
